Just a quick question. I know futures ended trading 15:15 CST or 1:15PM PST. However, the quotes are moving yet I can't get out. I got in at the lows. But IB wouldn't let me execute. Those quotes are fake or not real? P.S. Finally it let me out at a slight profit. Whew! 1:31PM PST. And execution did happen.
During a market trading halt, like the 3:15 to 3:30 PM CT window, certain order types can be modified/cancelled etc. That is what is causing that.
were you mostly short then? I wished I had held on my short. I got shaken out. So I ended up going long on the reversals.
Quick Check, mostly longs, started off Longs then zoomed out and realised massive down day tried to play shorts, then ended up jumping on little reversals, which didn't go very far, why so many trades. 1 Trade short went 60pts took 15, 1 trade went 30pts a long Cat knocked my arm closing it seconds before it broke up LOL. Good day, trading 1/10th size till I'm back in it sadly, but still profit is profit, 3am still buzzing. Start 1/10 if trading well double up till I can handle the pressure and repeat.
I tell ya', there's always a blame that gets placed on a cat. "My cat did it." I'd believe your tall-tale more if you said your dog ate your mouse! LOL!
On the Tablet, finger too close to the Close button, damn cat!! I did that twice other time saved me some cash No chance I'm trading DAX 8am open 5hrs away tomorrow again, NQ suites me better anyway.
